<p><img style="float:right;" src="http://static3.businessinsider.com/image/556e2b446bb3f7935e14f8a3-600-/martin-omalley-32.jpg" border="0" alt="Martin O'Malley" width="600"></p><p>Fox Business Network correspondent Charles Gasparino claims a lot of his sources have been talking about Martin O'Malley since the former Maryland governor launched his White House bid on Saturday. And Gasparino says Wall Street is angry with the Democratic presidential candidate.</p>
<p>"Martin O'Malley is now like, I would say persona non grata — public enemy number one in in the halls of Goldman Sachs, in the halls of Black Rock, the big money management firm. All throughout Wall Street right now," Gasparino said in an appearance on Fox Business on Tuesday.</p>
<p>According to Gasparino, O'Malley became Wall Street's bête noire by taking a shot at the financial industry during his announcement. In that speech, O'Malley <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/martin-omalley-is-happy-to-be-the-last-person-wall-street-ceos-want-running-in-2016-2015-6">accused Wall Street of essentially trying to anoint Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R)</a> as nominees in the 2016 race.</p>
<p>"Recently, the CEO of Goldman Sachs let his employees know that he’d be just fine with either [Jeb] Bush or [Hillary] Clinton. I bet he would," O'Malley said, adding, "Well, I’ve got news for the bullies of Wall Street: The presidency is not a crown to be passed back and forth by you between two royal families. It is a sacred trust, to be earned from the American people, and exercised on behalf of the people of these United States."</p>
<p>In a previous television appearance on Monday, Gasparino suggested O'Malley's comments would make him <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/martin-omalley-is-happy-to-be-the-last-person-wall-street-ceos-want-running-in-2016-2015-6">the "last person" Wall Street would want to win </a>the Democratic nomination.</p>
<p>Gasparino expanded on that analysis Tuesday. He claimed the financial industry "was not expecting" a presidential candidate to adopt the kind of aggressive approach towards Wall Street. Further, Gasparino suggested that even though O'Malley is polling far behind Clinton, there are fears his message could resonate and push Clinton "to the left" on Wall Street.</p>
<p>"Right now people on Wall Street are talking about Martin O’Malley. Now does he have a chance to win? I’m not a political guy, it would seem like odds are low based on everything that I know," Gasparino said, later adding, "What they're really worried about is not that he's going to win. It’s that he's going to force [Clinton] so far to the left with that resonating message."</p>
<p>Gasparino said Wall Street fears this O'Malley effect could stop Clinton from doing "some of the things they want her to do like water down Dodd-Frank."</p>
<p>"They really think that if she gets in there, that if Hillary Clinton gets in there, that Dodd-Frank will be watered down to the point where they can do proprietary trading using their own capital to trade which is outlawed right now. And various aspects of Dodd-Frank will be freed up so the banks can go back to making a lot of money," Gasparino explained. "Not that they don't make a lot of money now, but even more money, Clinton-era money."</p>
<p>Though she hasn't targeted Wall Street with the same type of fiery rhetoric O'Malley unleashed in his announcement speech, Clinton has said she supports Dodd-Frank. Clinton has <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/martin-omalley-is-happy-to-be-the-last-person-wall-street-ceos-want-running-in-2016-2015-6">also given other indications that</a>, if elected, she plans to take a relatively tough stance<a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/martin-omalley-is-happy-to-be-the-last-person-wall-street-ceos-want-running-in-2016-2015-6"></a> towards the financial industry.</p>

<p>O'Malley's team seems to relish the idea Wall Street is afraid of him. O'Malley spokeswoman Lis Smith emailed reporters a video of Gasparino's analysis on Tuesday as she did with the similar statements the Fox Business personality made on Monday. In her most recent message, Smith described Gasparino's remarks as proof of "how O’Malley’s message is resonating on Wall Street."</p>
<p>While the remarks O'Malley made about Wall Street in his announcement speech have clearly earned him attention, they weren't entirely accurate. In a post published on Tuesday, the fact-checkers at Politifact <a href="http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2015/jun/02/martin-omalley/had-goldman-sachs-ceo-said-his-picks-are-hillary-c/">described O'Malley's comment</a> that "the CEO of Goldman Sachs let his employees know that he’d be just fine with either Bush or Clinton" as being "mostly false." Politifact noted Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein " has thrown his weight and money behind Clinton publicly, but he hasn't done the same for Bush."</p>
<p>Smith, O'Malley's spokesperson, responded to this correction on Twitter where she seemed satisfied Blankfein was identified as a Clinton backer:</p>

Martin O'Malley (D) launched his presidential campaign Saturday, his speech included shots at his better-known rivals and <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/martin-omalley-has-got-news-for-the-bullies-of-wall-street-2015-5">one of the biggest names on Wall Street</a>, Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein.</p>
<p>"Recently, the CEO of Goldman Sachs let his employees know that he’d be just fine with either [Jeb] Bush or [Hillary] Clinton. I bet he would," O'Malley said.</p>
<p>"Well, I’ve got news for the bullies of Wall Street: The presidency is not a crown to be passed back and forth by you between two royal families. It is a sacred trust, to be earned from the American people, and exercised on behalf of the people of these United States."</p>
<p>O'Malley's populist ire wasn't limited to Goldman Sachs. In his announcement speech, he focused on income inequality, which he described as a situation wherein "Main Street struggles, while Wall Street soars."</p>
<p>He accused the "privileged and the powerful" of having been "the ones who turned our economy upside down in the first place" and lamented the fact "not a single Wall Street CEO was convicted to a crime related to the 2008 economic meltdown."</p>
<p>Though O'Malley is far behind Clinton in the polls, his comments have made waves on Wall Street. On Monday, Fox Business Network's Charlie Gasparino pointed to O'Malley's announcement speech and described him as "the last person" finance industry CEO's "want running in the Democratic Party."</p>
<p>"Did you hear what Martin O'Malley said the other day?" Gasparino asked his on-air colleagues. "He said it point blank, 'Do you want to elect the candidates that are supported by the CEO of Goldman Sachs? Well, that's Jeb Bush and Hillary Clinton.'"</p>
<p>"And I’m paraphrasing what he said, but he mentioned the CEO of Goldman Sachs. That's the last thing — Lloyd Blankfein doesn't want to be in the news anymore. He got the you-know-what kicked out of him back in 2009, 2010 following the financial crisis and Goldman Sachs was the poster child for all that's wrong on Wall Street ... They've been out of the news and they're back in it because Martin O'Malley and the liberals, the progressive left are going to make Wall Street a campaign theme."</p>
<p>O'Malley's campaign clearly didn't mind seeing him cast as Wall Street's worst 2016 nightmare.</p>
<p>His team sent out a press release on Monday highlighting the fact Gasparino called him "the last person [Wall Street CEO's] want running." It included a video of Gasparino's comments.</p>
<p>"This weekend, Governor O’Malley kicked off his presidential campaign and leaned heavily both into the need for more robust reform of Wall Street and for Democrats to nominate a candidate who is independent of the big banks," the statement said. "His position has apparently gotten notice."</p>
<p>Watch the clip of Gasparino's remarks below:</p>

<p class="embed-spacer"></p>
<p>In a conversation with Business Insider on Monday, O'Malley campaign spokeswoman Haley Morris described cracking down on Wall Street excesses as a "top priority" in the candidate's economic agenda.</p>
<p>"He made it clear that the number one issue that he has zeroed in on is that rebalancing act of getting our economy working again and reining in reckless behavior on Wall Street," Morris said.</p>
<p>Overall, Morris said O'Malley would confront Wall Street with "a mix of structural and accountability reforms." She pointed to <a href="http://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/opinion/columnists/caucus/2015/03/20/prevent-another-crash-reform-wall-street/25057735/">a column O'Malley wrote for the Des Moines Register in March</a> in which he outlined some of the specific policies he would support.</p>
<p>These included "reinstating the 1933 Glass-Steagall Act" so that banks would be "broken up into more manageable institutions," picking appointees for agencies in a position to regulate the financial industry "who will prosecute those who commit or permit crimes," barring banks from deducting government fines from their taxes, and establishing a "three strikes and you're out" policy that would "revoke a bank’s right to operate if they repeatedly break the law."</p>
<p>Morris said O'Malley's positions on Wall Street provide an obvious contrast with the likely Republican 2016 candidates, whom she described as eager to roll back existing financial regulations.</p>
<p>"It's clear that Republicans would either want to water down accountability in Dodd-Frank or get rid of it entirely," Morris said.</p>
<p><img style="float:right;" src="http://static1.businessinsider.com/image/5569cf36eab8ea7b576d4d25-1200-924/martin-omalley-25.jpg" border="0" alt="Martin O'Malley" width="600">Morris also suggested O'Malley's aggressive approach to Wall Street could differentiate him from Clinton. Morris accused the Democratic front-runner of being unclear about her positions on these issues.</p>
<p>"I don't think we know what Secretary Clinton would do and it's hard to comment on her positions," Morris said.</p>
<p>Clinton's campaign did not respond to a request for comment on this story. However, since launching her campaign in April, Clinton has made comments <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2015/04/16/politics/hillary-clinton-hedge-fund/">attacking the relatively low tax rates paid by hedge fund managers</a>, and her team confirmed this was an indication of her desire to close the "carried interest" loophole, which shields some investment profits from taxes.</p>
<p>In January, Clinton reiterated her support for the 2010 Dodd-Frank financial industry regulation. Observers have also speculated Clinton's appointment of former Wall Street regulator Gary Gensler, one of the architects of Dodd-Frank, to be her campaign's chief financial officer <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/18/us/politics/hillary-clinton-hiring-gary-gensler-is-called-signal-to-possible-donors.html?_r=0">was a sign</a> she "is prepared to take a tougher stance toward the financial industry."</p>
<p>Clinton supported increased Wall Street regulation in her 2008 presidential bid and has clearly taken a populist approach in the early weeks of her campaign, but O'Malley's direct challenges to CEO's and call for prosecutions clearly puts him in a different category.</p>
<p>In his comments on Fox Business Network, Gasparino suggested O'Malley's recent remarks might drive Wall Street donors to provide stronger support to Clinton.</p>
<p>"That speech will probably force them to give even more money to Hillary," Gasparino predicted.</p>
<p>O'Malley doesn't seem remotely concerned about whether Wall Street will provide contributions for his campaign war chest. In <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/week-transcript-maryland-governor-martin-omalley/story?id=31423797&amp;page=2">an interview on ABC's "This Week" that aired Sunday</a>, O'Malley cast himself as the only clear crusader against Wall Street excesses in the Democratic field.</p>
<p>"I don't know what Secretary Clinton's — approach to Wall Street might be. She will run her own campaign and I will run mine," O'Malley said. "I can tell you this. I am not beholden to Wall Street interests. There are not Wall Street CEOs banging down my door and trying to participate or help my campaign."</p><p><a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/martin-omalley-is-happy-to-be-the-last-person-wall-street-ceos-want-running-in-2016-2015-6#comments">Join the conversation about this story &#187;</a></p> <p>NOW WATCH: <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/little-known-facts-about-hillary-clinton-politics-democrats-republicans-bill-2015-5">11 little-known facts about Hillary Clinton</a></p> http://www.businessinsider.com/gasparino-in-playboy-2015-5Charlie Gasparino admits his Twitter feed makes his wife say 'Oh my God, what are you doing?' http://www.businessinsider.com/gasparino-in-playboy-2015-5

<p>The outspoken Wall Street reporter participated in a "20Q" interview.</p>
<p>Naturally, he's his uncensored self, and in the spirit of letting it all hang out, <span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Gasparino explained to Playboy why he goes totally nuclear on Twitter. </span><span style="line-height: 1.5em;"> </span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong>Q19</strong><br><strong>Let’s talk about Twitter. In November you tweeted a number of insults at Ron Insana of CNBC. You called him “fat boy,” “fat slob,” “not just fat but dumb,” “disgusting slob” and, for an encore, “a putrid, balding, disgusting fat-cat bootlicking sycophantic douche.” Is that any way for an adult to talk?<br></strong><br>If you’re going to throw the first punch at me, be ready for nuclear war. Telling someone to go f**** themselves is completely within the bounds of ethics, especially when they’re wrong and I’m right. Truth is a defense. The guy we’re talking about is a fat, unctuous, sycophantic Wall Street suck-up. He’d been saying stuff about me behind the scenes, and then one day he said it on Twitter, and I lost it. I’m a combative person. I have to admit, I am kind of a prick at times. Even my friends will say, “He’s an ass****.”<span style="line-height: 1.5em;"> </span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong>Q20</strong><br><strong>Does your wife read your Twitter posts?</strong><br>Yes. And she says, “Oh my God, what are you doing?” Often.</p>
<p>We reached out to Ron Insana for comment on Gasparino's Playboy interview. We have not reached out to Mrs. Gasparino.</p>

Fri, 23 Jan 2015 09:16:00 -0500Linette Lopez
<p>The catfight between CNBC and Fox Business Network at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, is out of control.</p>
<p>The final straw: Fox Business Network anchor Maria Bartiromo was caught on tape talking about CNBC's production team nearby, saying, <span>"Look what they're doing … they're embarrassing themselves." </span></p>
<p><span>You can see it about three seconds into the video below <a href="http://www.adweek.com/tvnewser/maria-bartiromo-to-cnbc-theyre-embarrassing-themselves/253386">(via TVNewser)</a>.<br><br></span></p>
<div><div>
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/vzDrUBsaFY4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div></div>
<p class="embed-spacer"> <br><br><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Bartiromo — who last year left the position she held for nearly 20 years as CNBC's "Money Honey" — was apparently just reacting to a CNBC employee's comment to Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan as he was about to go to an interview with Fox Business Network.</span></p>
<p>"Ooooohhh. That's where you're headed," the CNBC employee said, <a href="http://www.adweek.com/tvnewser/maria-bartiromo-to-cnbc-theyre-embarrassing-themselves/253386">according to TVNewser.</a> "They're no competition!"</p>
<p>Sadly, these are not the first punches that have been thrown between the two networks regarding this annual gathering of business, intellectual, and political leaders.</p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Last week, before anyone had even landed in Davos, Fox Business Network's senior correspondent Charles Gasparino went on the air and said that CNBC managing editor Nick Dunn would be wearing his "ass for a hat" after seeing how superior Fox's coverage of Davos would be to CNBC's.</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">And all this week Fox Business Network reporters have aired grievances with CNBC's behavior. They accuse CNBC of threatening guests, of telling them that if they don't do CNBC first, they don't do CNBC at all.</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">This made Gasparino, a former CNBC reporter, very upset. So he took to Twitter:</span></p>

<p><span>But here's the thing: This complaint from Fox Business Network is hardly new. In fact, it's common knowledge that </span>CNBC is ruthless about getting guests first — not just in Davos but at every event, and at home.<span style="line-height: 1.5em;"><br></span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em;">Fox Business Network's senior correspondent Charlie Gasparino joined Fox News' "Outnumbered" to show off his&nbsp;</span><a href="https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=399204313566451&amp;set=vb.314711475349069&amp;type=2&amp;theater">push-up skills</a>&nbsp;following Steelers linebacker James Harrison's viral video cranking them out with a 300 lb. teammate on his back.&nbsp;</p>
<p>"Can you really do a one-armed push-up?" host Sandra Smith asked.&nbsp;</p>
<p>"This is not in my contract. You know that, right?" Gasparino said.</p>
<p>"Can you do it without splitting your pants?" Rachel Campos Duffy chimed in.&nbsp;</p>
<p>"You will see my very large rear-end... Alright I'll do it. I'll do it," Gasparino said.</p>
<p>"We'll find out if he's wearing Spanx under there," Duffy said. &nbsp;</p>
<p>"What are Spanx?" Gasparino asked before cranking out six one-armed pushups.&nbsp;</p>
<p>"Now can you do it with Harris on your back?" Smith asked.&nbsp;</p>
<p>"I might be able to do a regular pushup," he said.&nbsp;</p>
<p>"With me on your back?" Harris Faulkner asked.&nbsp;</p>
<p>He did it.&nbsp;</p>

<p>It happened following <a href="https://twitter.com/SallyPancakes/status/530804936238706688">my Tweet of a new Fox Business advertisement</a> featuring Gasparino that said, "Charlie Breaks It! Others Follow." The advertisement also said, <em>"FOR CHARLIE, IT'S NOT JUST BUSINESS, IT'S PERSONAL!"</em></p>
<p>Insana, who used to work with Gasparino, responded on Twitter saying that CNBC's David Faber breaks the news and others follow. </p>
<p>This instigated a heated exchange where the two business reporters hurled insults back-and-forth.</p>
<p>Gasparino called Insana a "fat slob" and said that he would "smack" him "silly." </p>
<p>Insana, who pointed out that he had lost 30 lbs, then criticized Gasparino's reporting calling him a "single-source shill." </p>
<p>Gasparino then announced that he was going on air with Liz Claman.</p>
<p>While doing his <a href="http://video.foxbusiness.com/v/3881211935001/charlie-breaks-it/#sp=show-clips">hit on Fox Business</a>, he continued to hurl more insults toward Insana. <span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em;">He said that Insana was "jealous of Fox Business" and he "doesn't have much hair." </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em;">"I'm not being mean. He was mean to me...He's jealous of Fox Business. He's jealous of what we do here and he thinks that the world begins and ends at that crappy studio in Englewood Cliff[s]. I will say this—I have left him in the dust, the disgusting slob that he his. I have left David Faber and all of them. I do, every day, I break news and I will scrape him off my shoe any time, any day..."</span></p>
<p>"He's disgusting. He's the lowest form of journalism," Gasparino said. </p>
<p>Claman told Gasparino to "go back to Twitter with that one." <span>And so he did.</span></p>
<p>Here's a rundown of the Tweets: </p>

<p><img style="float:right;" src="http://static1.businessinsider.com/image/5421a3686da8112556c31fd0-1200-924/herbalife-kids-green.jpg" alt="herbalife kids green" border="0"></p><p>Shares of Herbalife are rallying today after they<span>&nbsp;</span><a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/herbalife-shares-sink-sept-21-2014-9">tanked more than 10% going into Monday's close</a>&nbsp;on a rumor that Carl Icahn might be unwinding his position.</p>
<p>Fox Business Network's Charlie Gasparino Tweeted that Icahn&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/CGasparino/status/514163867513929728">has not sold a single share</a>&nbsp;or taken an options position.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>The stock was last trading up about 7.9% on Tuesday around $43.39 per share.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Herbalife, a multi-level marketer that sells nutrition products, has been at the center of a hedge fund war for nearly 20 months.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Bill Ackman, who runs Pershing Square, has been very loudly and publicly short the company. He made his $1 billion short position public back in December 2012. It's his belief that Herbalife operates as a "pyramid scheme" that targets poor people. His investment thesis is predicated on regulators, specifically the Federal Trade Commission, shutting the company down. Back in March, the FTC <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/herbalife-halted-2014-3">opened a probe</a>&nbsp;into the company.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Within weeks of Ackman's presentation, Icahn, a long-time rival, snapped up a large long position. &nbsp;The two hedge fund titans later engaged in nasty, on-air brawl on CNBC. Icahn had also admitted&nbsp;<a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/carl-icahn-herbalife-no-brainer-2013-7">that the fact that he doesn't like Ackman was one reason</a>&nbsp;why he decided to take a look at investing in the company in the first place.&nbsp;This summer, Icahn and Ackman&nbsp;<a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/bill-ackman-and-carl-icahn-are-on-stage-at-a-huge-hedge-fund-conference-2014-7">reconciled with a hug</a>&nbsp;at a conference.</p>
<p>Icahn currently owns 17,000,000 shares of Herbalife, according to regulatory filing data compiled by Bloomberg.&nbsp;</p>

If you're a guest, you have to be on CNBC before any other network.</p>
<p>If you have a contributor deal there, you can kiss any appearances on Bloomberg TV or Fox Business News goodbye.</p>
<p>So it's a big deal that Anthony Scaramucci, SkyBridge Capital founder and host of the massive hedge fund conference, SALT, is going to be on Fox Business today at 3:25 pm. He'll be joined by another CNBC alum, Charlie Gasparino.</p>
<p>Wonder what they'll talk about...</p>
<p>Last month, Business Insider reported that&nbsp;CNBC executives were furious <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/cnbc-mad-about-wall-street-week-2014-6">at Scaramucci for relaunching iconic</a> business program "Wall Street Week." At SALT Las Vegas in May, he announced<span>&nbsp;on CNBC that his firm would be restarting the show with the help of former&nbsp;</span><a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/krakower-to-restart-wall-street-week-2014-5">CNBC executive Susan Krakower</a><span>. Krakower developed shows like "Fast Money" and "Mad Money With Jim Cramer."</span></p>
<p><span>Unfortunately, shortly after that Scaramucci's contributor contract with CNBC was up for negotiation. Executives dangled it over his head, hoping that he would back down from launching 'Wall Street Week.'</span></p>
<p><span>He wouldn't. But he was also confident that he and CNBC would be able to work things out.</span></p>
<p><span>Now he's going to be on Fox Business News.</span></p>
<p><span>No one's talking about whether or not this means the absolute end of Anthony Scaramucci's CNBC contract.</span></p>
<p><span><strong>UPDATE:</strong> Here's Scaramucci on set.</span></p>

<p>Here's <a href="http://www.foxbusiness.com/industries/2014/07/01/goldman-braces-to-slash-fixed-income-staff-amid-trading-swoon/">Fox Business News' Julie VeHage and Charlie Gasparino</a>:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Executives at the biggest U.S. investment bank have now indicated to Wall Street analysts that they could make significant cuts in their fixed-income trading staff amid a sharp slowdown in business conditions.</p>
<p>The reporters write that details will come when the bank reports its second quarter financial results on July 15.</p>
<p>Layoffs in this department might not come as a surprise.</p>
<p>During a presentation in May, <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/historically-low-volatility-across-assets-2014-5">Goldman Sachs president Gary Cohn warned</a> that trading volumes across the firm's divisions were plummeting.</p>
<p>"As we consider headwinds, volumes in a number of fixed income markets have been under significant pressure in 2014: FX volumes are down 45% versus 2013, mortgage-backed securities volumes are down over 20%, and corporate bond volumes are down almost 15%," he said.</p>
<p>"Naturally, we&rsquo;ve been hearing a number of questions about the driver of these declines, including: macro factors, like fiscal or monetary policy, regulation, or the low-growth global economy," he continued. "We believe all play a role, but in our day-to-day business, the most significant factors are economic in nature."</p>
<p>Cohn also blamed the unusually low volatility in the markets, articulating that low volatility "discourages hedging and delays opportunistic investing."</p>

<p>The biggest hedge fund conference of the year, SALT Las Vegas, just kicked off Wednesday morning.</p>
<p>On Tuesday, though, &nbsp;everyone gets in, sees who's there, and finds out what clubs everyone's going to each night &mdash; it's Wall Street in Vegas so there are going to be parties. Lots of them.</p>
<p>Tuesday is also a great opportunity to get some pool time in before the serious lectures start, and Business Insider ran into none other than Fox Business News' Charlie Gasparino. He was wearing a fanny pack and chilling out nice and relaxing all cool in his wife beater.</p>
<p>He said: "The fanny pack is the greatest invention since the umbrella." Verbatim.</p>
<p>What else did you think he would wear?</p>

</div>
<div class="story-body">
<p>Geraldo Rivera deployed his camera crew this week to a midtown Manhattan diner to get reactions from everyday Americans about an EPA official who&nbsp;<a href="http://nation.foxnews.com/2014/05/07/how-much-porn-does-it-take-get-fired-epa">watched porn at work</a>&nbsp;but who remains at the agency. The diner is a place "where you do get a great cross-section of people living in the New York metropolitan area," Rivera said.</p>
<p>But among those everyday people were a couple of folks who might have been recognizable to Fox's most loyal viewers: Fox Business hosts Charlie Gasparino and Lori Rothman. The pair wasn't identified on screen by their names or titles, though, giving the impression that they were just two commoners having a meal.</p>
<p>"Here's the problem," Gasparino said. "You can't get away with that in private industry. There's just no way, you know what I'm saying? Government allows you to get away with it because essentially there's no one watching the store."</p>
<p>Rothman agreed.</p>
<p>"It's wrong," she said. "It does create a hostile work environment and if anybody should be walking by and kind of look over the shoulder to see what's going on, it's absolutely harassment."</p>
<p>If you don't count yourself among Fox Business's tiny audience, you may not have recognized either Gasparino or Rothman. It wasn't until after Rivera showed the footage on Thursday afternoon that Gretchen Carlson identified the pair as fellow Fox dwellers.</p>
<p>"Somehow Charlie Gasparino and Lori Rothman from Fox Business Network &mdash; " Carlson said before being cut off by Rivera.</p>
<p>"Well, we snagged a lot of them," Rivera said. "They're right next door."</p>

<p>This week Lewis released his newest book, "Flash Boys," which claims the markets are rigged because of high-frequency trading (HFT).&nbsp;</p>
<p>Gasparino called Lewis' new book "completely and utterly&nbsp;<span>disingenuous" and said that it has a "lefty interpretation" of the 2008 financial crisis.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p>Gasparino writes that Lewis is "blowing smoke" and that his claim about HFT hurting the mom-and-pop retail investors is all wrong.</p>
<p>This was the best excerpt:&nbsp;</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">What Lewis doesn&rsquo;t tell anyone (and what Steve Kroft in his &ldquo;60 Minutes&rdquo; interview wasn&rsquo;t smart enough to ask) is how this hurts the small investor.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Because it doesn&rsquo;t. This isn&rsquo;t traders vs. the little guy, it&rsquo;s &ldquo;Alien vs. Predator&rdquo; &mdash; one set of financial insiders outsmarting another bunch.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">The guy who buys Apple on an online-brokerage account gets the price he sees on his screen; that&rsquo;s how the E*trades of the world fill orders. And if you have a mutual fund, your money manager should be smart enough to figure out (as many have) how not to be gamed by the HFT guys.</p>

<p>We came across this adorable photo of Fox Business Network Senior Correspondent Charlie Gasparino that was taken when he was five years-old.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The future Wall Street reporter, who was rocking some black socks, already looked ready to hunt down a scoop. Then again, this picture was taken in Bronx, where Gasparino spent some of his childhood, so you have to have a little attitude.</p>
<p>Enjoy!</p>

<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Gasparino is lambasting his former employer, The Wall Street Journal, for failing to give FBN credit for a story about the case of Jordan Belfort, the real life "wolf" of Wall Street. The "rats" at the WSJ lifted FBN's story without the requisite props, which wouldn't have happened in Gasparino's Journal days, he said.</span></p>
<p>This isn't the first time Gasparino has <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/charlie-gasparinos-twitter-spat-2013-9">gotten into a Twitter scrap</a>, but we always seem to admire his tenacity. Especially this time, considering that The Journal is owned by News Corp. (and the former iteration of the company owned both the WSJ and Fox). But Gasparino never pulls punches.&nbsp;</p>
<p>"There was a time when i worked at the WSJ when if u got beat u put ur head down and gave the other guy credit," Gasparino tweeted.</p>
<p>Here it is in all its glory:</p>

<p>The fight began with the always sardonic and often hysterical cadre of traders mocking Gasparino for being a "troll" and probably "walking in the Bronx yelling obscenities."</p>

<p>Gasparino&nbsp;<span style="line-height: 1.5em;">went on to essentially call the traders poor.&nbsp;</span></p>

<p>Back in July,&nbsp;Cohen's $14 billion <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/sac-capital-indicted-2013-7">SAC Capital Advisors was hit with criminal charges of insider trading</a>.</p>
<p>U.S. prosecutors charged SAC<span>&nbsp;<span>"with criminal responsibility for insider trading&nbsp;offenses committed by numerous employees and made possible by&nbsp;institutional practices that encouraged the widespread&nbsp;solicitation and use of illegal inside information," the indictment stated. &nbsp;</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>Two of SAC's former portfolio managers have insider trading trials coming up in November.&nbsp;</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>The&nbsp;</span><a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/sec-sues-steve-cohen-2013-7">SEC also civilly charged Cohen</a><span>&nbsp;last month with failing to supervise the two portfolio managers.&nbsp;</span></span></p>
<p><span><span></span><span><span>Cohen, 57, launched SAC in 1992. &nbsp;The hedge fund employs about 900 people worldwide.</span><span><br /></span></span></span></p><p><a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/gaparino-says-sac-to-be-family-office-2013-8#comments">Join the conversation about this story &#187;</a></p>
